In 2013, artists Conrad Murray and Paul Cree decided to form their own company, Beats & Elements which would centre the working-class stories, often at the heart of their conversations and use their lexicon of rap, beatbox, drama and spoken word, to create exciting new theatre.
CPT began supporting the company in 2014, giving them their first full-length scratch for No Milk For The Foxes and subsequently programming a full 3 week run, a year later. The show was an acclaimed success, garnering the company many great reviews. This led to CPT being a co-producer on their second show, High Rise eSate of Mind, which featured Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, and David Bonnick Jnr, aka rapper Gambit Ace. High Rise went on to tour CPT, BAC, Home Manchester, Southbank Centre, Home Slough and GL4 Gloucester.
Since that first meeting in 2014, Beats & Elements have enjoyed a great relationship with CPT and are proud to have worked extensively on their community projects and digital platform.
